Anyone see the men's volleyball match between Brazil and the US! Brazil pounded the US! I was cheering the whole time. I hated how that one guy kept trash talking Brazil, especially when they were down. Whenever he did that he lost the next point. Go Brazil! (In honor of Guga) nope, haven't seen this match. In Polish TV they show only our team. But it's no surprise that Brazil won coz they are the best team and I'm almost 100% sure that they will take the gold. |

I am quite surprised, we got silver in rowinf in singles sculls after Norway, could have been even gold! (Maybe Christina saw it  ) I was so happy for this guy! And our double sculls guys (if I finally get it right, Christina?) were 4th, so pretty good too! And we got a bronze in judo heavy weight (90+) yesterday (together with the Holland guy, dunno if you saw any of the judo in Holland). So I'm pretty happy with our 2 medals already, and we might get even more, that would be really awesome for such a small nation that we are! The French and Dutcies seem to be doing extremely well, the French double sculls men (the same where we were 4th) got gold, Damita, cute guys! And yeah, your fencers Damita, great! BTW the Russian fencers and swimmers have failed pretty badly! Oh, and finally Damita, did you see, Laure Manaudou, this swimmer girl lost her 2nd gold at the end in 800 m freestyle to Japan, I was so sorry for her, but she's young so I hope she'll do well in Bejing in 4 years! |

the French double sculls men (the same where we were 4th) got gold, Damita, cute guys! to be honest, i haven't seen them yet, they won gold early this morning and i was  I know!!! we've always have good fencers. The women lost in the semis yesterday tho Laura Flessel was leading until the last 4 seconds of the time, so sad but they had the bronze medal so that's good, and as the 4 of them played they all had a medal (cuz normally only 3 fencers -the 3 who played- get the medal, which is really unfair for the last one who has be training as hard as them during the year.... it's like in the Football wolrd cup only the 11 players that were playing the final could get the medal and the rest of the team had nothing!!) this morning the sabre men's team lost yep i saw the entire thing and she was leading for 740m, and then the Japanese girl became the leader for the remaining 60m and won.... again, very sad, but now she has a gold medal, a silver medal, and a bronze medal.... the entire collection! ;D she was happy even if she didn't have another gold. I think we never had a swimmer that won so many medals in the same Olympics, so she can be very proud of what she's done! now i hope Amélie will defeat Justine Henin, and that Christine Aaron will bring a new medal tonight in athletism! |
